- Venue: Alfheim Stadion
Tromsø will be looking to keep their hopes of a top-two finish in the Norwegian top flight alive when they play host to Bryne this weekend.
The hosts have responded well after avoiding relegation by the narrowest of margins last season. Jørgen Vik’s side currently have one of the best records in the division, with a win in each of their last eight matches, and they also kept three clean sheets in that period. This run of form has lifted them to within just two points of second-placed Brann. Adding to the excitement, Gutan have three and two games in hand on first-place Viking and second-place Brann, respectively.
Bryne also enjoyed a good run of form over the last couple of weeks during which they remained unbeaten in six league matches. Jæren's super team won half of those games, but their clean sheet record of one in six leaves something to be desired.
Tromsø vs Bryne Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Tromsø may have kept clean sheets in three of their last eight games but only one of those was at the Alfheim Stadium. Jørgen Vik’s side finished just one of their last six home games in all competitions without conceding, and half of those matches saw more than 2.5 goals.
Encounters between Tromsø and Bryne in the top flight of Norwegian football have a history of being highly entertaining. A total of 31 goals were scored in the last eight meetings — an average of three per game.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Tromsø vs Bryne prediction: 2-1
Tromsø team news
Tromsø head coach Jørgen Vik is expected to resist the temptation to make alterations to the side that started the 3–2 win over Stromsgodset last Sunday.
Runar Norheim’s brace in that game took his direct goal involvements for the season to five, while Leo Cornic scored his second goal in the 2025 Norwegian top flight campaign.

Bryne team news
Nicklas Strunck, Axel Kryger, Alfred Scriven and Lars Erik Sødal are each a yellow card away from suspension, while Jan de Boer remains suspended following his red card against KFUM.
De Boer’s absence means Anton Cajtoft will continue in goal, while Scriven will be looking to impress in midfield after scoring his third goal of the season last time out.
